Social studies education assumes primary responsibility in emphasizing the place of women in society, teaching their rights, and revealing the roles of women in history. In addition, individuals living in society can learn how to live together as men and women through this education and can learn what rights women have as human beings and what their roles are in history. Social studies should have a special place, especially in terms of women's representation. In this context, the studies that can guide the level and the way women's representation should be in the components of the Social Studies education process books, curriculum, measurement-evaluation materials, course materials, etc. are important. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the research on the representation of women in Social Studies education. In this qualitative study, data were collected through document analysis. First of all, the databases from which the data would be obtained were determined and the researches that would be included in the scope of the study were selected through keyword groups in the determined databases. In the study, 4 postgraduate theses, 9 articles, and 1 paper were studied. Descriptive content analysis was utilized in the analysis of the studies. When the results of the studies are considered, it is understood that there are negative results about the representation of women or that emphasize a deficiency. On the other hand, it is seen that there are positive results in favour of women in terms of women's representation. Based on these results, it has been suggested that the number of studies on both the representation of women and how women are represented in Social Studies education should be increased, and women should be represented more in Social Studies education materials and textbooks to guide program developers and textbook writers.
